The pics show the overall....   and the problem areas I see....    Great cussions and upholstery  (aside from being outdated)...

Pics of feet are only to show the feet and casters.....

I could part with this if anyone is interested....   I'm in SC

Make that.....   * CUSHION.....   (ie....   seat & back)   no sags or abrasions in the fabric or support springs / padding.

It's in the American Empire style, popular 1815 to as late as 1850 in rural areas. This one dates about 1840, sadly though the style is far from popular, demand for furniture of this style peaked in the late 1980's and has been in decline ever since. Here is a like to comparables at auction:
